Molten Chocolate Brownies

I don't remember where I came across this recipe. It's one of those that is scribbled on the back of an envelope and stuffed into my recipe drawer. Well, I came across it the other day while hunting for something else and decided this one was worthy of sharing.

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13 pan. Prepare brownie mix according to directions for cake-like brownies. Spread batter in the 9x13 pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the batter. Combine water and ice cream topping. Whisk until well blended. Microwave mixture covered on high for 5-6 minutes or till mixture comes to full boil. Whisk until blended. Stir in vanilla (mixture will be thin). Carefully pour ice cream topping mixture over brownie batter in circular pattern. Bake uncovered 35-40 minutes or till sauce is bubbling around edges (top of brownie will appear very saucy but will thicken as it cools). Lightly sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with ice cream.

This recipe is pretty easy. Just make sure you buy the family size brownie mix and that you use the cake version of the recipe. Here are pictures of the mixing of the brownies:

Pour your brownie batter into your 9x13, then sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top:
Next, mix your ice cream topping with the water. I know this seems weird but somehow it works out. Just trust me, here:

Pour your very thin sauce over the brownie mix, then bake and savor. If you like ooey-gooey chocolatey goodness, you'll enjoy this recipe!
